GOA Makes An Interesting Argument on Ocare

ObamaCare Could be Used to Ban Guns in Home Self-Defense
This is an excerpt from the article above, dated Friday, October 9th:

ObamaCare and gun control

It is nearly certain that coverage prescribed by the administration will, to control costs, exclude coverage for what it regards as excessively dangerous activities. And, given Sebelius’ well-established antipathy to the Second Amendment -- she vetoed concealed carry legislation as governor of Kansas -- we presume she will define these dangerous activities to include hunting and self-defense using a firearm. It is even possible that the Obama-prescribed policy could preclude reimbursement of any kind in a household which keeps a loaded firearm for self-defense.

The ObamaCare bill already contains language that will punish Americans who engage in unhealthy behavior by allowing insurers to charge them higher insurance premiums. (What constitutes an unhealthy lifestyle is, of course, to be defined by legislators.) Don’t be surprised if an anti-gun nut like Sebelius uses this line of thinking to impose ObamaCare policies which result in a back-door gun ban on any American who owns “dangerous” firearms.

After all, insurers already (and routinely) drop homeowners from their policies for owning certain types of guns or for refusing to use trigger locks (that is, for keeping their guns ready for self-defense!). While not all insurers practice this anti-gun behavior, Gun Owners of America has documented that some do -- Prudential and State Farm being two of the most well-known.

The good news is that because homeowner insurance is private (and is still subject to the free market) you can go to another company if one drops you. But what are you going to do under nationalized ObamaCare when the regulations written by Secretary Sebelius suspend the applicability of your government-mandated policy because of your gun ownership?

All of this is in addition to something that GOA has been warning you about for several months … the certainty that minimum acceptable policies will dump your gun information into a federal database … a certainty that is reinforced by language in the summary providing for a study to “encourage increased meaningful use of electronic health records.”

Remember, the federal government has already denied more than 150,000 military veterans the right to own guns, without their being convicted of a crime or receiving any due process of law. They were denied because of medical information (such as PTSD) that the FBI later determined disqualified these veterans to own guns.

Is this what we need on a national level being applied to every gun owner in America?

I used to read articles like this one and think the authors were paranoid...

Bottom line is this. If they pass this socialist control bill in any form we need to go to war and I mean a shooting war. Enough is enough.

Need to start a million gun owner march on DC.

There is a march being planned in March, I think it is, 2010. Its called the 2nd Amendment march.

Thanks will have to check it out.

Thanks, Volz!

And thanks for posting that in the first place, too...

think we all need to clear the time, meet up and go to to DC as a group. I can handle 4 05 five folks in my truck for the ride.

Of course by then we may be fighting to save this nation .

I agree with Jackdog.
Sadly, this guy isn't doing things by small measures. I think he's in a race to destroy as much as he can as fast as he can.

I call shotgun, jackdog.
